Combining Both Juvederm® Filler And BOTOX® Injections
Juvederm® Filler vs. BOTOX®
Juvederm® fillers and BOTOX® treatments are used to smooth fine lines and wrinkles and create a more youthful appearance. Although both of these treatments aim to solve the same problem (aging skin), they are actually quite different. BOTOX® is a purified neurotoxin that relaxes muscle activity wherever injected. This treatment is popular for treating crow's feet, frown lines, and other pesky wrinkles around the eyes and forehead area.
Dermal fillers such as Juvederm® fill in wrinkles and fine lines to help soften their appearance. The filler is formulated with hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in your body that attracts and retains moisture. As you age, your skin begins to lose this moisture, therefore, resulting in the appearance of lax skin and wrinkles. Dermal fillers restore this moisture, adding volume to the skin. This treatment is more commonly used to restore the volume around the mouth and nose (nasolabial folds) as well as add volume to cheeks and lips to give a more youthful appearance.
Juvederm® Filler And BOTOX® Together
Juvederm® filler and BOTOX® injections work differently to target distinctive aging imperfections in the face. By combining both treatments, you will be getting the best of both worlds allowing you to tackle wrinkles on all fronts resulting in an optimal youthful appearance. BOTOX® is typically used around the eyes and forehead whereas Juvederm® filler is used on the lower and middle sections of the face. Using these two treatments together will also help prolong their effects. For example, hyaluronic acid from the dermal filler will break down much faster inactive areas on the face such as around the mouth. In order to improve the effectiveness of the filler treatment, it is beneficial to inject the area with BOTOX® to relax muscle movement so the hyaluronic acid is less likely to break down as fast. Both of these treatments work in unison to provide you with an overall smoother, more youthful-looking appearance.

FAQs
Q. Are these injection treatments painful?
No! BOTOX® injections and Juvederm® filler injections use a very fine needle to allow for a comfortable and pain-free experience. Treatments also only take 15-20 minutes to complete and you can continue on with your daily routine without any downtime.
Q. How long do BOTOX® and Juvederm® results last?
Both anti-wrinkle injectables provide temporary results and you will have to undergo repeat treatments to maintain your youthful, wrinkle-free appearance. BOTOX® results last between 4-6 months whereas Juvederm® treatments last up to 18 months.
Q. How do I know if I should get dermal facial fillers or BOTOX® treatments?
Dermal fillers are effective at restoring facial volume and smoothing out fine lines and wrinkles in the lower sections of the face. BOTOX® treatments work by relaxing the facial muscles to allow wrinkles and fine lines to smooth out and prevent more from forming. Deciding on treatment is dependent on your goals and your skin type. Talk to your dermatologist about your skincare concerns so they can design a customized treatment plan that will give you the optimal results you are looking for.
